RAC has brought together an alliance of top corporate retailers in one place who can at competitive rates offer their services on a consultancy basis to retailers of all sizes including emerging retailers, to enable them to optimise their retail operation to allow increased profitability and expansion. In recent years the retail landscape has become increasingly complex and intensely competitive. In order to survive and thrive in this environment, retailers need to adopt a multidisciplinary approach to successfully manage their retail operation. Access to the skills required however, is generally only available to large corporate retailers who can afford to employ the skills needed. South African retail is a microcosm of world retail and the country has developed many retail operations that are as good as, and in some cases better than their international counter parts. The skill sets and experience of our consultants have been honed and developed in top South African and international retailers over the past thirty years, and these are now available to assist retailers who are struggling either to get started in retail, or to grow their formats to take on the majors. Our consultants have experience in: Operations Finance Merchandise space planning Logistics and distribution Human Resources Ecommerce Project Management and I.T.
